Homemade Vegetable Soup

Since starting marathon training a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to work with a nutritionist through my job. I eat clean most of the time and generally get my recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. One of the suggestions the nutritionist had for me was to add more vegetables. The information that she gave me was that the recommended amount was insufficient and that more vegetables was a good thing. She told me to add them to everything from breakfast smoothies to mid-day snacks and even desserts whenever possible. (I know having vegetables for dessert sounds odd, but it works – these brownies are proof of that!).

This vegetable soup turned out to be the perfect solution for getting more vegetables in my diet. Honestly, there are a few vegetables that I don’t really care for and rarely eat (like peas and celery). But adding them into soup like this disguised them enough that I ate plenty of them without complaint. Surprisingly, the soup was much heartier than I had expected and filled me up. Considering that every ingredient is healthy, it’s a perfectly healthy and low calorie meal that will warm your insides.

One of the nice things about this recipe is that you can use fresh or frozen vegetables. Since I usually keep plenty of vegetables in the freezer, I’ve always got these ingredients on hand. I prefer using fresh veggies in almost every recipe but I don’t always keep them in my refrigerator so frozen is a great alternative.

There’s nothing more comforting than a big bowl of vegetable soup on a cold, dreary day (like today!). I’ve never met many veggies that I didn’t like, so this soup is perfect for me. It’s so pretty and colorful, too.Alli Smith recently posted…DIY Reindeer Treat Bags

You won’t find too many people that like soup more than I do. I eat it year round, at least four times a week! I love the way that the potato pieces are a bit larger in the first photo – It gives the soup a real homey feel!Cherri Megasko recently posted…5 Lesser-Known European Travel Gems

There are definitely a ton of veggies in this soup recipe. I like minestrone-type soups, but my favorite are tomato-based ones, seasonal pumpkin/butternut squash ones, and I also love Cream of Broccoli soup.Yona Williams recently posted…Gift Overview: What is a 4K TV?
